Prohibition of losing contact

Zhou Qingbai felt that Pei You seemed a little different recently.

He seemed to be... much livelier than before.

Although Pei You is gentle, he has a weak temper and is passive. Zhou Qingbai used to be a coquettish and shameless person to get him to do something together, but in the past few days, something has happened to Pei You. It seems that he has changed his personality and started to take the initiative Woke up.

At 09:30 in the morning, someone knocked on the door of Zhou Qingbai's room on time. He woke up from his sleep and habitually touched the phone under the pillow to check the time.

The time on the standby screen was neither too early nor too late, exactly at 09:30, Zhou Qingbai grabbed a handful of hair, got up from the bed like a ghost, and floated to open the door.

"Do you have any special abilities?" Zhou Qingbai opened the door, and complained in a nasal voice: "For example, you are actually a humanoid AI with its own alarm clock."

Outside the room door, Pei You was already fully dressed. He was holding a takeaway box in his hand. The inside of the plastic bag was covered with a thin layer of water vapor, and it still looked hot.

"It's raining outside today, so the fried dough stick stall downstairs can't go out." Pei You said, "Let's eat Xiaolongbao."

The noodle fragrance penetrated into the air through the plastic bag, Zhou Qingbai sniffled, and his sleeping soul began to be slowly awakened.

He blinked, his wet eyes gradually lifted a little, and he couldn't help lowering his head and hooking his fingers into the plastic bag to look inside.

"...What's the matter?" Zhou Qingbai asked.

"One cage of fresh meat, two cages of crab powder." Pei You said.

From the day they entered Qingshan to work, Pei You and Zhou Qingbai had eaten countless meals together, and now they knew his taste like the back of their hands, at least they could figure it out.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Qingbai bent his eyes, became visibly happy, smiled and turned sideways to let him in, and said, "You... just sit down, I'll go wash my face first."

In the past few days, Liu Xin was being investigated by the economic investigation, while Zhou Qingbai and Pei You stayed temporarily due to work reasons, waiting for the final investigation results.

Dongjiang Company has been temporarily ordered to suspend business for investigation, so they don't have to go out to check the accounts under the sun, and they have some free time.

Ever since he made insinuations about Zhou Qingbai's "chasing preference" last time, Pei You has been strictly following the standard answers, knocking on Zhou Qingbai's door every morning as if he was on his way to and from get off work.

He "created" opportunities to be alone with Zhou Qingbai from nine to six in the morning, either eating with him or working remotely with him.

Pei You was worried at first whether this behavior was too obvious, but he soon discovered that Zhou Qingbai didn't care about his private domain being invaded by him, and seemed to be enjoying it, adapting quite quickly.

At the very beginning, he would tidy himself up a little bit, but within two days he would reveal his true colors, and he would never get up until Pei You came to knock on the door.

There was the sound of drizzling water in the bathroom, Pei You put the breakfast on the coffee table, took a look around, couldn't help but bend down, and walked into the bedroom while picking up a few clothes that Zhou Qingbai had thrown on the ground.

Zhou Qingbai took a battle shower very quickly, and when he finished washing and came out wiping his hair, he saw that the quilt had been spread in the bedroom, the clothes had been picked up and hung on the hangers, and the window was opened halfway, fresh and fresh. The humid air crashed into the room, bringing a comfortable coolness.

Zhou Qingbai stopped wiping his hair, pursed his lips and smiled, moved to the side of the sofa with some embarrassment, smiled doglegly, and stretched out his hand to pinch Pei You's shoulder.

"Oh." Zhou Qingbai said: "I told you that you don't need to be troubled, and I will clean it up myself in a while."

"It's okay." Pei You said, "It's a matter of convenience."

Pei You was used to tidiness, and when he saw Zhou Qingbai throwing things all over the sofa, he couldn't help but help him arrange them. After a few days, he got used to the arrangement, and even knew which interlayer he used to put his T-shirts in.

"That's different." Zhou Qingbo said straightforwardly: "You are a mental worker, so you don't need to do this kind of work."

"Really?" Pei You wondered: "Then you were too lazy to go downstairs yesterday and asked me to bring you a drink back."

Zhou Qingbai: "..."

"That's different." Zhou Qingbai always had his own fallacies, he bent down, squeezed Pei You's shoulders, and whispered sophistry: "Isn't that because you just want to go out - and it's not good to sit for a long time, and it's okay to exercise. "

Zhou Qingbai had just taken a shower, and there was still steaming steam on his body. He probably used the shower gel that came with the hotel. The fragrance was strong, and when he bent down, the smell flowed out along the neckline, heading straight to Pei You body drilling.

The distance between the two of them was a little too close, so close that Pei You could clearly feel that he was being enveloped by that moist breath, and he couldn't even tell whether the smell of freesia came from Zhou Qingbai or from himself. .

Pei You was not used to this kind of close contact yet, he suddenly had the illusion of being assimilated by Zhou Qingbai, his ears felt hot, and he subconsciously tilted his head, wanting to take Zhou Qingbai's hand off his shoulder.

"Sit down." Pei You said, "It will be cold if you don't eat."

The taste of the xiao long bao will drop a lot after it gets cold, Zhou Qingbai let out an oh, he was too lazy to go around the sofa, he flipped over from the side carelessly, sat next to Pei You, and went to tear the packaging bag outside the packing box without going anywhere .

"That's right." Zhou Qingbai remembered something and said, "The police officer from the economic investigation called me last night and said that Liu Xin's incident was probably found out."

Zhou Qingbai is the direct person in charge of Qingshan, and he can be regarded as half of the victims of Liu Xin's embezzlement of public funds case. He should really be informed about the progress of the case.Pei You nodded and asked, "What result?"

"It's almost as you guessed." Zhou Qingbai said: "He is indeed laundering money, but fortunately there is no official intervention in public welfare projects, it is his personal behavior."

According to the police investigation, Liu Xin has been in contact with drugs for many years. At the beginning, he only smoked. Later, his drug addiction became more and more serious. He could not pay for drugs with his own money, so he turned his idea to the company.

At that time, his own father passed away, and the Dongjiang company was transferred to him, so Liu Xin began to use the engineering project as a springboard to help local drug trafficking gangs launder money.

While forging documents to request public welfare funding from Qingshan, he registered a new engineering company with his own mother's identity information, outsourced "public welfare projects" in various places, and turned them into new real construction projects.

In this way, an empty name turned into a real project. Liu Xin then used the name of the project to "buy" building materials from trafficking gangs, or invest funds.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Xin is extremely sensitive to those "public welfare projects". He is so sensitive that Zhou Qingbai just mentions it lightly, and he is ready to kill him.

"The unreasonable transfer you found last time should have been transferred by them." Zhou Qingbai said vaguely with the steamed bun in his mouth, "It's just that the wrong transfer was made to the public account, which happened to be discovered by you."

"But then again." Zhou Qingbai swallowed what was in his mouth, wondering, "How do you know he laundered money?"

"Guess." Pei You said, "You said he has a big business for you, so it should be about money laundering."

Liu Xin will not write a bad check to Zhou Qingbai. He is a smart man, he talks nonsense when he sees people, and he knows how to pull people into his boat.

For people like them, if they want the other party to always stand by their side, they have to give a consequence that no one can regret.

For example, let a young man like Zhou Qingbai get involved in money laundering activities without knowing it, or let a social elite like Pei You be trapped by drugs.

Thinking of this, Pei You's thoughts were suddenly interrupted for a moment.

The scene in the clubhouse was too chaotic that day, he didn't have time to think so much, but after calming down these few days, Pei You was more or less afraid of the situation that day.

That night at the Public Security Bureau, Pei You had seen with his own eyes the "criminal evidence" that Lu Ye and the others found. Such a small plastic bag, no bigger than half a person's palm, contained dozens of grams of white powder lightly, but it was enough to destroy Lost his whole life.

Pei You thought about it later, and suddenly felt very lucky—he was lucky that Zhou Qingbai was lucky enough to discover the truth that day, and he was also lucky that Zhou Qingbai was there that day.

Addicts are all desperadoes, ignoring the law and disregarding human feelings. If Zhou Qingbai hadn't caught Liu Xin off guard on the spur of the moment and made the matter so big that it couldn't end, what would have happened in that dark and private clubhouse afterwards? No one seemed to be able to predict it.

"Zhou Qingbai." Pei You suddenly said, "Thank you for what happened that night."

"Thank you?" Zhou Qingbai was not happy anymore, he bit the soy milk straw, frowned and said, "Didn't you say it, don't say it——"

"You did protect me." Pei You looked sideways at him and said seriously, "You have protected all the dignity of my life."

Maybe it was in the clubhouse that day, or maybe it was earlier, from the day Zhou Qingbai took the initiative to ask him to go on a business trip, fate has changed direction quietly.

Pei You didn't know if there was such a thing as "destiny" in the world, but it was precisely because of Zhou Qingbai that he could sit back and relax.
